Things You Will Need For Your Trip To Honduras

 

  • Current U.S. Passport
  • Casual and work clothing such as jeans. Pants are okay for the ladies. There will be no need for dress clothes even for church services. Jacket or sweater for possible cool nights. Days will likely be pretty warm.
  • Towels and washcloths
  • Toiletries
  • Camera
  • Hat for shade
  • Bags for dirty clothes
  • Flashlight
  • Pocket knife if you have one
  • One or two extra pair of shoes or boots
  • Bedding, one or two sheets is all that is necessary
  • Insect repellant
  • Journal or notebook
  • Bible
  • Tetanus shot
  • Plastic bottle for drinking water
  • Chewable Pepto Bismol before the first 2-3 meals in Honduras and something like Immodium AD for intestinal problems
  • A few snacks such as granola bars, trail mix, and peanuts

Additional tips:

  • Don't eat food other than what is prepared or recommended by our hosts. In other words don't buy food on the street.
  • Don't drink tap water!!
  • Don't brush your teeth with tap water
  • Possibly get malaria pills (ask your doctor)
  • Pack an army duffel bag as one of your two bags. Put a plastic 5 gallon bucket in the bottom and fill it. Leave the bucket in Honduras for it can be a valuable item since they are used in so many ways.
  • Take some spending money if you desire. There will be time for some shopping before the group returns. Exchange U.S. currency at the airport before the group leaves that area to the destination. Also be prepared to pay an exit tax as you leave the airport to return. It could change, but will likely be about $25. This should be the only money you will have to spend in Honduras.
  • Travel as a group through airports
  • Do not attempt to carry sharp objects through airport security. Avoid carrying metal on your person as it delays security checks.
